What’s that light moving across Virginia’s skies?

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- If you saw a bright light making its way across Virginia's skyline earlier today, you're not alone. But what, exactly, did you see?

Just after 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 4, SpaceX's Falcon 9 launched its Maxar 3 mission from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

That rocket entering orbit lit up skies far and wide -- including in Virginia.

8News viewers sent in photos and videos of what they saw when they looked skyward post-launch.
